Return to residency description

  • This residency does not include materials or meals.

    Equipment and critiques (if desire) are included.

  • It is important that all participants have a spirit of adventure, a willingness to learn, and short, well-groomed nails.

    The nails should be short to work at the pottery wheel, allowing the tips of the fingers to be used without scratching or puncturing the clay.

  • Participants should wear clothing and footwear that they do not mind getting dirty.

    Additionally, it is important to note that Atelier Retiro does not have air conditioning. It is an old granite building, typically cool, but clothing should be suitable for the season: light in summer and warm in winter.

    Atelier Retiro has a washing machine available for residents to wash their muddy clothes.
